Hotel Chinzanso is the ideal stay when you want a little more breathing space. Surrounded by historical sites in the peaceful neighbourhood of Sekiguchi, the hotel itself has a colourful 17-acre parkland to roam. It was once the home of a Japanese Prime Minister so the interior is as regal as you might expect, with marble bathrooms and historic artwork adorning the suites. Meanwhile, nine restaurants and a luxury onsen ensure guests experience immense relaxation.
